To Lea(租赁) or Not to Lea

Planning to lea a car becau you don't think you can afford to buy? Think again. Leasing can end up

being just as expensive as buying.

Most people think about leasing becau they believe it will cost them less money. They're right-it is

cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were to lea anew Subaru Forester, you might pay

$300 per month for the car. If you were to buy the same car, you would pay about $400 per month. Over a

three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But after your lea is over, you have to give the car back.

Many people want to lea becau they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwi be able

to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you might be able to lea a new Ford Explorer.

For the same price, you might have to buy a ud Explorer, or buy a new but much less expensive model. A

lea， therefore， allows you to drive the latest models of more expensive cars. However, whatever car you

can afford to buy you get to keep it, and it will always have a rell or trade-in(以新旧换)value if you want

to upgrade to a new car later.

Furthermore, people who lea cars are often shocked by how much they must pay when the lea is over .

Most leas limit you to a certain number of miles. If you go over that, you must pay for each mile. As a

result, you may end up paying thousands of dollars in mileage(里程) fees. In addition, when you lea ,you

have to pay for regular maintenance and repairs to the vehicle. Since you must return the car finally, you are

paying to repair someone el's car.

By now, the benefits of buying over leasing should be clear. Remember: whatever model you can afford to

buy, it is yours after you make the payments. There's no giving back, and that makes all the difference.

something they love, being able to t their own hours, or having some control over whom they work with.

husband was able to keep things going while Fawkner was recovering. She saw a counlor (咨询师)for

help and took part in a workplace mental health promotion program. This program was designed for small

to medium business owners.

"The stories on the DVD in the program were so helpful. I was crying becau I didn't feel so alone. " For

Some people are naturally blesd with a cheerful character. They spread warmth and sunshine wherever

they go. They attract people like bees to honey. So what is it that makes the people so different from

others?

①The most important cret to happiness is to be grateful for the good things in your life-whatever may

be your financial position. Instead of appreciating material wealth, be thankful for the loved ones in your

life and enjoy the little pleasures of life that come your way.

②The next important cret is to develop relationships. Increasing social contacts helps boost brain

power. Therefore, work towards improving your relationships and take time off to get in touch with

friends. This will lift some burden off your shoulders, especially when you share your thoughts and

feelings. Socializing can give you an added boost to your moods.

③Thirdly, do not hold a grudge(怨恨)against anyone. Instead, learn to be kind, generous, and forgiving

towards others, even to the person who hurt you. Be sympathetic and understanding, and try not to

criticize others. Focus on the positives of a person instead of the negatives, for none of us is born perfect.

It will keep your heart and mind free and peaceful.

Cultural Differences in England and France

Cultural differences can take many forms. I have noticed many differences in French culture compared to

English culture, from the way people dress, to their attitudes towards food, to what they do for fun. One

thing that has struck me in particular in France is personal interactions with each other. 26

Firstly, it's the kissing. Everyone kiss each other on the cheek. It's a greeting, instead of saying "hi" or

"hello " 27 Everyone participates in the kissing ritual, the young, the old, male, female, strangers and

friends. I kiss my friends. I kiss the teachers at the school. And even if I'm in a hurry, I am still expected

to make time to give acquaintances a quick kiss on the cheek as I rush past. I don't mind it. 28 It quickly

turns strangers into acquaintances, and acquaintances into friends.

Another thing that I've noticed is that people France are much more open with people they don't know. 29

In France, however, on long train journeys people have often started a conversation with me for no reason.

They have a chat simply to pass the time. And I really enjoy being able to share a part of my life and my

story with someone el.

Whatever impressions you may have about French people, I have found that they are, for the most part,

open and at ea talking to strangers 30

A. In fact, I quite like it.

B. They differ a lot from tho in the UK.

C. Often the kiss is a substitute for words.

D. This makes me more comfortable with them too.

E. Britons often greet each other with hugs and kiss.

F. In England, you talk to a stranger only if completely necessary.

Learning From Mistakes

others. They fear they will lo their money and 42 (belonging) or be under heavy stress. But risks are 43

(possible)to avoid and they do pave the way towards success. Have you ever 44 (hear) of anyone who

that as you 46 (probable)get lots of advantages out of your mistakes. By making mistakes, you can at least

distinguish between the correct and the 47 (correct) parts of what you did. Robert Stevenson once.

Said:“Our business in life is not to be 48 (success), but to continue to fail in good spirits”

You needn't worry about anything as long as you keep on going by 49 (wi)learning from your mistakes

某英文报社正在举办题为“ Green Transportation”的征文活动，请你根据下述写作要点提交一篇英文

短文应征。

●你怎样理解绿色出行

●你会选择哪种绿色方式

●给出理由

作文范文：Recently the topic of green travel has been widely debated which has aroud public attention

and has been more and more popular with people. To some extent, it has become a fashion. Undoubtedly,

green travel has a pround impact on both enviroment and social, for its significance cannot be denied.

Green travel, especially public transport, makes a positive contribution to the environment and society.

On one hand, public transport has the potential to reduce transport CO 2 emissions, which is a major

contributor to local air pollution and smog. In this n, green travel makes the environment clean and

gives people a healthy living environment. On the other hand, public transport plays an important role in

reducing the social costs of transport include traffic jam and time taken away from the family while

commuting and vulnerability to fuel price increas.

We have only one world we can live in. I hope through green travel can we protect the enviroment and

save resources. In my opinion, no matter where we go, we are suppod to choo green travel. If you are

near to the place which you go to, you can go there on foot or by bicycle. In this way can we protect our

environmen and keep fit. If you are far away from it, you can choo going there by bus or by taxi with

your friends.
